Canterbury has unveiled their limited-edition Ireland kit, celebrating 150 years of rugby in Ireland. Packaged in a commemorative anniversary box when purchased from Intersport Elverys, the exclusive kit pays homage to the history of Irish international rugby, with the classic design taking inspiration from 1875. The large white collar and bold crest creates a vintage aesthetic, bringing an old classic back to life. “The 150th anniversary of Rugby in Ireland is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and we’re excited to offer fans a unique way to be part of this historic moment. This limited-edition kit not only honors the legacy of Irish rugby with a design inspired by the original 1875 jersey but also incorporates the latest performance technology for today’s game. We hope this commemorative jersey becomes a treasured keepsake for fans, as we all come together to mark this special anniversary in Irish rugby history.” - @simon rowe SVP Sports Marketing/ Sponsorship at Canterbury.

Canterbury have officially launched the 2024/25 Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) home and alternate kits. Inspired by the stunning landscapes of the Emerald Isle, the kit is a reflection of everything Canterbury stands for—innovation, heritage, and a deep connection to the game. The jersey is a celebration of Irish pride and pays homage to the textures of the Irish landscape—Benbulben, Giant’s Causeway, Cliffs of Moher—which blends seamlessly into the iconic emerald green that represents Ireland. With advanced VapoDri+ technology, recycled materials, and a nod to fan-favourite designs, this is the most cutting-edge jersey Canterbury has ever created. A massive congrats to everyone who had a part in bringing this kit to life #IrishRugby #WeAreIreland

Endura has teamed up with Scottish BMX rider and Endura athlete Kriss Kyle to bring his inimitable BMX style to a new mountain bike trail that is unlike any other. The trail has been imagined, designed and purpose built by one of the world’s most versatile and scintillating riders, and can be seen in action on Kriss’ Youtube channel. “The thinking behind the Dreamline project was to do something totally different that suits my unique riding style and BMX background. I wanted to build a downhill skatepark, with waterpipes and features that you wouldn’t see at your average MTB trail. I think we’ve pulled it off, it’s literally a dream come true.” Says Kriss Kyle Like all trails at Glassie Bike Park, the Dreamline is open to the public for free – donations via a QR Code at the car park are welcome and go directly into the upkeep of this riding destination. A word of warning, though: this rideable piece of art it is not for the faint-hearted, as you can see for yourself in the BMX star’s new edit. Scotland's BMX maestro isn't just pushing the limits on two wheels, he's also rewriting the rulebook on style – in his edit Kriss is rocking the brand new, limited edition KK Signature collection, launching today on the Endura website.
